What the job involves

• Our mission depends on having a digital representation of the physical world - a map with all routing related (real-time) information. This is what makes Lyft different from many products: our products don’t just facilitate online interactions, they facilitate dynamic, real-world ones. Without mapping services, none of these real world interactions between people and transport can happen
• The Mapping organization at Lyft has spent the last few years building up Lyft’s mapping assets and capabilities by combining many internal and external data sources and services into an increasingly powerful and mission-critical technology stack
• In doing so, we’ve also enabled new user experiences and features across all of Lyft’s products, including rideshare industry leading firsts like CarPlay, Android Auto, and real-time driver feedback!
• We are hiring a Software Engineer to join our Mapping experiences team that builds end user features to enhance drivers and riders experience on Lyft’s platform by using our in house navigation system
• We are looking for an engineer with expertise in system architecture, cross team collaboration, and experience in building scalable solutions in the cloud environments
• In this role, you'll collaborate with engineering, product, data science, analytics, operations, and AI/ML teams on programs that empower us to iterate quickly, delighting our passengers and drivers with rideshare focused mapping experiences
• Drive high-impact projects and innovate new solutions to provide the best user experience
• Lead large features from idea to positive execution and launch
• Write well-crafted, well-tested, readable, maintainable code
• Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and distribute knowledge, as well as on call rotations
• Share your knowledge by giving brown bags, tech talks, and promoting appropriate tech and engineering best practices
• Unblock, support and communicate with internal partners to achieve results
